Maritime League of Legends Confirmed As NCATS Undercard August 16th

TimsCorner.ca has confirmed that the Maritime League of Legends Tour will add a seventh event to their season with a second stop on Riverside International Speedway on Saturday, August 16th.

The Maritime League of Legends Tour will play support to the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series as the undercard to the Wilson Equipment 300 Supporting Red Cross Disaster Relief. The event for the Legends is scheduled to be a 50-lap feature.

This comes on the heels of Monday’s announcement that the Street Stocks would be returning to Riverside Speedway for the first time in over a decade. The class will serve as the support class to the NAPA Sportsman Series Highland Home Building Centre 100 on Friday night, August 15th. Last season, the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series weekend was merged into one day, with the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series 300-lap affair being run on the same day as a 50-lap NAPA Sportsman Series race.

Last season, “The Legend” Cy Harvey went to victory lane in the only stop for the Maritime League of Legends Tour at Riverside International Speedway, which took place during IWK 250 presented by Steve Lewis Auto Body weekend. Harvey won three of the six races on the series in 2013, sweeping the races at Petty Raceway and at Riverside Speedway.

Justin MacNeill won the 2013 championship on the series, which visits four different race tracks throughout Atlantic Canada. The 2014 campaign will go green at Scotia Speedworld on Saturday, May 24th.
